Product Information

The COBB Hood Strut Kit returns a level of convenience that Volkswagen omitted from the Mk8 GTI and Golf R. A bespoke hood strut is secured in place between an existing stud on the strut tower and a custom machined ball that attaches to the hood mounting location.

Cost-cutting be damned! Volkswagen reverted hood suspension from gas struts to a stone-aged hood prop with the Mk8 GTI and Golf R. Our Hood Strut Kit brings that convenience back to the present day with a bespoke strut and OE quality mounting.

FEATURES:

  • Volkswagen Hood Strut Kit (Mk8) GTI, Golf R 2022-2023
  • Adds convenience when opening the hood
  • Connects to factory mounting points
  • Use with COBB or other aftermarket intakes
Hood Lift Support

Hood lift supports, or gas struts, are pressurized cylinders designed to hold up a car's hood. Over time, they can fail due to a pressure drop, often caused by exposure to extreme temperatures, dust, or contaminants. Cold weather, in particular, can reduce the gas pressure inside the struts, making them less effective at supporting the hood during cooler conditions.

Hood Lift Support Failure Symptoms
  • The hood may feel heavier or fail to stay open as high as before due to a gas leak in the lift support
  • Grease or oil leaking from the existing shocks
  • Seeping noise or creaks coming from the shocks when lifting the hood or trunk
  • Hood or trunk fails to stay open when raised
